The demuxer cache is the only cache now. Might need another change to
combat seeking failures in mp4 etc. The only bad thing is the loss of
cache-speed, which was sort of nice to have.
The currently-displayed tags make sense for music files, but similar
information for video is more commonly - or at least should be - put
under other tags, while the audio-related tags are often used for
other information on video files (particularly with youtube-dl's
output).
For some reason shadow_offset is a int16_t variable (to save some space
or something), which means the static part of the entire option list
must be below 32KB. This is fine, but still add a check against
overflows. (Currently it's 3.6KB. This does not include dynamic
allocations like strings.)
C11 can access atomic variables normally (in which case they use the
strictest memory access semantics). But the mpv stdatomic wrapper for
C99 compilers does not allow it, because it couldn't give any
guarantees. This means we always need to access them with atomic macros.
While we're at, use relaxed semantics for the m_config_cache field,
since because it's accessed from a single thread only (essentially
used in a non-atomic way). Switch the comparison arguments to make the
formatting look slightly less weird.
Although the new code actually fires update notifications only when
needed, m_config_cache_update() itself returned a rather coarse change
value, which could indicate change even if none of the cached options
were changed. On top of that, some code (like vo_gpu) calls the update
function on every frame, which would reconfigure the renderer even on
unrelated option changes.
This was always a legacy thing. Remove it by applying an orgy of
mp_get_config_group() calls, and sometimes m_config_cache_alloc() or
mp_read_option_raw().
win32 changes untested.
The --hwdec* options are a good fit for the vd_lavc local option
struct. This annoyingly requires manual prefixing of most of these
options with --vd-lavc (could be avoided by using more sub-struct
craziness, but let's not).
The path functions need to access the option that forces non-default
config directories. Just add it as a field to mpv_global - it seems
justified. The accessed options were always enforced as immutable after
init, so there's not much of a change.
Passing NULL to mp_get_config_group() returns the main option struct.
This is just a dumb hack to deal with inconsistencies caused by legacy
things (as I'll claim), and will probably be changed in the future. So
before littering the whole code base with hard to find NULL parameters,
require using callers an easy to find separate define.
Options with dynamic memory allocations (such as strings) require some
care. They need to be fully copied on initialization, and if a static
default value was declared, we must not free that value either.
Instead of going through the entire thing even for simple types like
integers, really run it only for options with dynamic allocations. To
distinguish types which use dynamic allocations, we can use the fact
that they require a free callback (otherwise they would leak). As a
result initialization of simple types becomes chaper, and the init
function does nothing at all if src==dst for a simple type.
(It's funny how mplayer had M_OPT_TYPE_DYNAMIC since 2002, until we
replaced it by the same heuristic as used here in commit 3bb134969e.
It's also funny how the new check was used only for some asserts, and
finally removed in commit 7539928c1c. I guess at this time I felt like
having uniform code was more important than pointless
micro-optimizations.)
The src==NULL case is removed because it can't happen.
Actually rewrite most of the option management code. This affects how
options are allocated, and how thread-safe access to them is done.
One thing that is nicer is that creating m_config_cache does not need to
ridiculously recreate and store the entire option list again. Instead,
option metadata and option storage are now separated. m_config contains
the metadata, and m_config_data all or parts of the actual option
values. (m_config_cache simply uses the metadata part of m_config, which
is immutable after creation.)
The mentioned hack was introduced in commit 1a2319f3e4, and is the
global state around g_group_mutex. Although it was "benign" global
state, it's good that it's finally removed.
For some reason shadow_offset is a int16_t variable (to save some space
or something), which means the static part of the entire option list
must be below 32KB. This is fine, but still add a check against
overflows. (Currently it's 3.6KB. This does not include dynamic
allocations like strings.)
Until now, stopping playback aborted the demuxer and I/O layer violently
by signaling mp_cancel (bound to libavformat's AVIOInterruptCB
mechanism). Change it to try closing them gracefully.
The main purpose is to silence those libavformat errors that happen when
you request termination. Most of libavformat barely cares about the
termination mechanism (AVIOInterruptCB), and essentially it's like the
network connection is abruptly severed, or file I/O suddenly returns I/O
errors. There were issues with dumb TLS warnings, parsers complaining
about incomplete data, and some special protocols that require server
communication to gracefully disconnect.
We still want to abort it forcefully if it refuses to terminate on its
own, so a timeout is required. Users can set the timeout to 0, which
should give them the old behavior.
This also removes the old mechanism that treats certain commands (like
"quit") specially, and tries to terminate the demuxers even if the core
is currently frozen. This is for situations where the core synchronized
to the demuxer or stream layer while network is unresponsive. This in
turn can only happen due to the "program" or "cache-size" properties in
the current code (see one of the previous commits). Also, the old
mechanism doesn't fit particularly well with the new one. We wouldn't
want to abort playback immediately on a "quit" command - the new code is
all about giving it a chance to end it gracefully. We'd need some sort
of watchdog thread or something equally complicated to handle this. So
just remove it.
The change in osd.c is to prevent that it clears the status line while
waiting for termination. The normal status line code doesn't output
anything useful at this point, and the code path taken clears it, both
of which is an annoying behavior change, so just let it show the old
one.
Don't allow it to freeze everything when loading a playlist from network
(although you definitely shouldn't do that, but whatever).
This also affects the really obscure --ordered-chapters-files option.
The --playlist option on the other hand has no choice but to freeze the
shit, because there's no concept of aborting the player during command
line parsing.
This supports named arguments. It benefits from the infrastructure of
async commands.
The plan is to reimplement Lua's utils.subprocess() on top of it.
Removes a good hunk of weird code.
This loses qscale "emulation", some logging, and the fact that duplicate
keys for values starting with +/- were added with AV_DICT_APPEND. I
don't assign those any importance, even if they are user-visible
changes.
The new M_OPT_ flag is just so that nothing weird happens for other
key-value options, which do not interpret a "help" key specially.
On machines with multiple GPUs, /dev/dri/renderD128 isn't guaranteed
to point to a valid vaapi device. This just adds the option to specify
what path to use.
The old fallback /dev/dri/card0 is gone but that's not a loss as its
a legacy interface no longer accepted as valid by libva.
Fixes#4320
I think this will help with reducing code duplication (see following
commit). The error messages loses the multiplication factor, but the
error message will be replaced by a generic one in the following commit
anyway.
Removes the awkward notification through VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE.
Unfortunately, some awkwardness remains in mp_property_display_fps(),
because the property has conflicting semantics with the option.
The playback start logic explicitly waits until the first frame has been
displayed. Usually this will introduce a wait of 1 vsync. For normal
playback this doesn't matter, but with respect to low latency needs,
this only leads to additional data getting queued up in the demuxer or
network buffers.
Another thing is that the timing logic decodes 1 frame ahead (= 1 frame
extra latency) to determine the exact duration of a frame.
To be fair, there doesn't really seem to be a hard reason why this is
needed. With the current code, enabling the option does lead to A/V
desync sometimes (if the demuxer FPS is too inaccurate), and also frame
drops at playback start in some situations. But this all seems to be
avoidable, if the timing logic were to be rewritten completely, which
should probably happen in the future. Thus the new option comes with the
warning that it can be removed any time. This is also why the option has
"hack" in the name.
the title bar is now within the window bounds instead of outside. same
as QuickTime Player. it supports several standard styles, two dark and
two light ones. additionally we have properly rounded corners now and
the borderless window also has the proper window shadow.
Also make the earliest supported macOS version 10.10.
Fixes#4789, #3944
Most options starting with --no-<name> are automatically translated to
--<name>=no. Make the code slightly nicer by using a flag instead of
explicitly comparing option types. Also fix an issue that made the
option parser print nonsense error messages for if --no-... was used for
options which don't support it.
--vf=help will now list libavfilter filters, and e.g. --vf=yadif=help
will list libavfilter filter options.
The latter is rather bare, because the AVOption API is really awful
(holy shit how is it so bad), and would require us to handle _every_
option type manually.
Alternatively we could call av_opt_show2(), which ffmpeg uses for help
output in its CLI tools and which is much more detailed. But it's rather
foreign and forces output through av_log(), so I don't really want to
use it.
Use the decoder wrapper that was introduced for video. This removes all
code duplication the old audio decoder wrapper had with the video code.
(The audio wrapper was copy pasted from the video one over a decade ago,
and has been kept in sync ever since by the power of copy&paste. Since
the original copy&paste was possibly done by someone who did not answer
to the LGPL relicensing, this should also remove all doubts about
whether any of this code is left, since we now completely remove any
code that could possibly have been based on it.)
There is some complication with spdif handling, and a minor behavior
change (it will restrict the list of codecs to spdif if spdif is to be
used), but there should not be any difference in practice.
Get rid of the old vf.c code. Replace it with a generic filtering
framework, which can potentially handle more than just --vf. At least
reimplementing --af with this code is planned.
This changes some --vf semantics (including runtime behavior and the
"vf" command). The most important ones are listed in interface-changes.
vf_convert.c is renamed to f_swscale.c. It is now an internal filter
that can not be inserted by the user manually.
f_lavfi.c is a refactor of player/lavfi.c. The latter will be removed
once --lavfi-complex is reimplemented on top of f_lavfi.c. (which is
conceptually easy, but a big mess due to the data flow changes).
The existing filters are all changed heavily. The data flow of the new
filter framework is different. Especially EOF handling changes - EOF is
now a "frame" rather than a state, and must be passed through exactly
once.
Another major thing is that all filters must support dynamic format
changes. The filter reconfig() function goes away. (This sounds complex,
but since all filters need to handle EOF draining anyway, they can use
the same code, and it removes the mess with reconfig() having to predict
the output format, which completely breaks with libavfilter anyway.)
In addition, there is no automatic format negotiation or conversion.
libavfilter's primitive and insufficient API simply doesn't allow us to
do this in a reasonable way. Instead, filters can use f_autoconvert as
sub-filter, and tell it which formats they support. This filter will in
turn add actual conversion filters, such as f_swscale, to perform
necessary format changes.
vf_vapoursynth.c uses the same basic principle of operation as before,
but with worryingly different details in data flow. Still appears to
work.
The hardware deint filters (vf_vavpp.c, vf_d3d11vpp.c, vf_vdpaupp.c) are
heavily changed. Fortunately, they all used refqueue.c, which is for
sharing the data flow logic (especially for managing future/past
surfaces and such). It turns out it can be used to factor out most of
the data flow. Some of these filters accepted software input. Instead of
having ad-hoc upload code in each filter, surface upload is now
delegated to f_autoconvert, which can use f_hwupload to perform this.
Exporting VO capabilities is still a big mess (mp_stream_info stuff).
The D3D11 code drops the redundant image formats, and all code uses the
hw_subfmt (sw_format in FFmpeg) instead. Although that too seems to be a
big mess for now.
f_async_queue is unused.
Restores behaviour prior to aef2ed5dc1.
That change was apparently unpopular. However, given the amount of
complaining over how hard it is to change the defaults by rebinding every
key, I think the extra option introduced by this commit is justified.
Technically not all behaviour is restored, because now --no-osd-bar will
not instead display the msg text on seek. I think that feature was a
little weird and is now easy enough to remedy with the --osd-on-seek
option.
